Product Description
This book captures the gun as a complex, fascinating combination of form and function -- told, as always, in McIntosh's relaxed, conversational style. The first part is about the art of guns and gun making, and the second section is devoted to the art of shooting.

A Superb book on Shotguns, Shooting, and the Love of the Double December 31, 2007
I got the book and had to keep reading it. I would stop just so I would have more the read the next night. I love classic shotguns, their workmanship, engineering, and art. This book gives great opinions, some heretic opinions, but all based on an intelligent insight to the double shotgun. I love the chapter on chokes, because the author argues against choking the gun. He is not afraid to fly in the face of common knowledge, and even throws our knowledge in our face. I can't recommend this book enough, especially to someone that loves the side by side "gun."
Great for newbies and experienced shooters December 20, 2007
Michael is a great writer with a sharp wit -- makes for easy enjoyable read. Takes the reader through the history and basics of shotguns and shooting and tells some great tales along the way. If you want an introduction to why some people cannot get enough of "best" shotguns -- and you want to understand why they are really works of art -- get this book.

This is a very good book to read on shotguns and shooting. Mr. McIntosh is an excellent writer. His style of mixing technique with short stories and antidotes made for a pleasant, educational and entertaining read. Add this book to your library.

Combination of magazine articles for lovers of fine shotguns.Basic information about guns, loads, and especially good section on shooting techniques. Jack O'Conner wrote a lot about rifles, but McIntosh's speciality is the sxs shotgun. However, he has taken over the position that O'Conner once held. You are what you read, and for the last several years I have been reading Michael's work in "Sporting Classics". I have been mainly a rifle guy for the past 25 years, but have now started back with shotguns. I blame Michael for this. Not really anything new in this book; just more McIntosh. But in his case, more is better. I especially like his lead-ins to the chapters. Classy!! Classy guy !!

I have never had a book, which I keep by my bed and read ever night, it keeps giving me more and more information. This is a wonderful book full of good common-sense gun knowledge.
